My group recently had a wonderful dinner at Burma Bay Cafe! We arrived around around 7 PM on a Sunday evening and they were slammed with several large parties. The staff were SO nice and offered to set up a table for us in their back room. They were so kind and accomodating, which we were grateful for because we were starving and the food looked delicious! We ordered a tea leaf salad, Burmese shrimp and beef, and the Nan Gyi Thoke noodles. The food arrived soon after ordering and we were treated to a proper Burmese feast! I loved the crunchy textures of the tea leaf salad, and the shrimp and beef were deliciously spicy. The noodles were also great - the boiled egg was cooked perfectly. The portion size was generous - this was plenty of food for four people! Most imporantly, service was outstanding! Thank you for making our group feel welcomed on an insanely busy evening. :) read more

Came to Burma Bay Cafe for dinner with friends and had a great meal! Located off Warm Spring Blvd, Burma Bay Cafe took over the old Ho Chow building. The inside has tons of seating available and bright natural lighting. We came on a weeknight during their happy hour (!!), which is 20% off appetizers every week night between 3-6pm. Our party of three ordered mainly apps, and only deviated off that section to try their tea leaf salad :P Fried tofu - crisp and light Coconut chicken with palatha - sweeter curry, loved the flakiness and thicc-ness of the paratha Lamb curry with palatha - hearty curry sauce Salt and pepper chicken - dino nugget-esque with a nice crunch and perfect seasoning and didn't actually need the dipping sauce it comes with. Note: the dipping sauce does contain fish Chicken lettuce cups - fine taste, no notes Veg samosas - fine also, basic Tea leaf salad - ordered for the health and textural crunch. So delicious Service was good. Our waitress was very informative in each dish and also quite attentive with refiling waters. Overall, great meal and would love to return to try their mains. read more

Had the lamb curry while I was here last. This place is a great place to come with coworkers during a lunch break. They are always fast and sure to bring ur food out so that you can get back to the office ASAP. The service and ambiance are pretty much what one would expect. Only reason I'm not giving 5 stars here is that the food didn't blow me away. It was great but not anything particularly special. Be sure to check it out if you are nearby. I also had the tea leaf salad which was great and the samosas are quite delicious as well! read more

Great Burmese restaurant in the bay. Everything was so delicious and paired well. The food tasted fresh and light without sacrificing the flavor. The food came out fast and hot. The restaurant itself is very spacious and the service was great. They close at 9 but last call is at 8:30. read more

I liked that there were several lunch options but overall, I don't believe what I ordered suited my tastes. The dish I enjoyed the most was the ginger salad. The flavors in it were fantastic. Everything else was bland and didn't make me want to continue eating. Also, the Burmese Indian rice was an up charge and was completely underwhelming. The only thing that stood out was the turmeric in it which also made the rice bitter. The restaurant itself was nice and spacious and the service was friendly albeit slow. read more

A good spot for a family style dinner. We usually order the chicken khao swe and the pad thai. The khao swe is also really nice for leftovers the next day as the curry soaks up the noodles! Our favorite appetizer here is the fried tofu when it's fresh and hot with their sweet chili sauce. I recently tried the tea leaf salad here and samosa soup and found those to be tasty and flavorful as well. Their Burmese iced tea is also a nice treat. The service tends to be quick and friendly too. read more

I wish Burma Bay Cafe was in San José. The food was tasty, service was great, and the portions were a good. I only wish that my tea leaf salad wasn't already mixed. It's fun to be able to mix it yourself. There were a good amount of people in the restaurant due to a party, but we didn't have to wait long for our food. We ordered the garlic noodles, garlic shrimp & eggplant, tea leaf salad, black pepper beef, tofu & vegetables. For birthday celebrations, they'll bring out scoops of ice cream with a sparkler on top. I love how there are plenty of parking spots in the plaza. Will come back again in the future to try other items on the menu. read more

I've been here a few times with my team at work. They like this place because a few of them are vegetarian. The portions are generous and easy to share. I came back with my husband and ordered the following: - tea leaf salad (5/5) best version have had because they also have cabbage and more seeds/nuts - fried chicken Burmese style (4/5) like the topping of fresh mango, cucumber, red onions but don't like they used can pineapple - pumpkin curry shrimp (3/5) prefer Thai version; ok but not used to this - Burmese dessert with ice cream 5/5 It's a clean, spacious, and modern restaurant. Service was great. read more

The food here was not bad. Three stars because some of the dishes we ordered were really oily. Service was good and there is ample free parking. We started with the Tea Leaf Salad, a staple of Burmese restaurants. Their tea leaf salad was not bad. It had all of the standard ingredients, but was a little oily. Although it's not available here, we actually prefer our Tea Leaf Salad with dried shrimp, as it adds to the umami flavor. If you've never had Tea Leaf Salad, this is a good dish to try here. Next, we had the Mango Salad. We were a little bit apprehensive when it arrived because it looked like it would taste just like the Tea Leaf Salad. Fortunately, it has a very different taste. The pickled mango was really good. This salad also includes fried onions and fried garlic, but just enough to flavor the dish with something crispy without making it greasy. Unlike the Tea Leaf Salad, this salad was not oily at all, making it a healthier option. We would definitely order this one again. Our next dish was the Garlic Shrimp with Eggplant. As noted in other reviews, the Garlic Eggplant is a really popular dish. For another $5, you can order it as a shrimp dish. The taste of this dish was good, but it was really greasy. The eggplant was just sopping with oil. This is a good dish for people who don't mind the oil. But for people who do, it's not a good choice. We also tried the Salmon Lemongrass Fusion. The description sounded really good. The flavor of this dish was also good, but it didn't pair well with the Garlic Shrimp with Eggplant. Both have a brown sauce that taste kind of the same. We probably should have ordered the Dry Curry Chicken instead, which has a different base. The salmon was a little dry. It really needed the sauce for hydration. This sauce seemed to have a lot of oil in it, too. We checked their website before going. When we signed up for their text messaging, we received a 20% discount coupon, which we used for this dinner. Overall, the price after discount was reasonable. Many of the dishes appeared to be wok fried. Not sure if we'll be back due to the oiliness of the dishes we tried today. read more

If you're looking for some decent Southeast Asian food, this is definitely one of your go-to spots in the Warm Springs area (if you live in south Fremont, very close, or if you live in Milpitas!) -- thank you to the MANY Yelp friends that put me on this place, because I do not regret deciding to go to this place. This restaurant can be packed at times due to its limited seating, so my best suggestion would be to plan accordingly WHEN you want to go for lunch or dinner. However, everything else is impeccable -- from the hospitality, to the food, to the environment. Here's how my experience went:There was a little bit of a wait when I went with my family -- maybe at tops 15 minutes? That wait was worth it though -- so there's that. However, as soon as we got seated -- they introduced us to some of the special dishes that they had. The waitresses answered our questions with lots of professionalism, which we honestly felt welcomed. We got the Aw No Khao Swye, and two more dishes. They were really saucy, and very rich in flavor -- not too saucy and overbearing in flavor. We got their salad and also their chicken over coconut sauce, most of which were absolutely delicate and yummy things. I really appreciated the fact that a lot of work was put into making these dishes taste really good. Their tea was also top tier too! I would definitely come back to try more of their dishes :) read more

Went in with my family of 6 to dine in for my sister's belated birthday dinner. Were greeted and seated within few mins, interior looks cleans and organized. We ordered a variety of dishes off of menu, total of 6 dishes. Pretty much all of our food came out within 5-7 mins, I felt like most of dishes tasted the same and totally got robbed with shrimp & eggplant dish, we counted total of 6 shrimp on our entree. Fried rice 3 stars Lotus chips crunchy but lacked salt & flavors still we enjoyed the crunch. Pad thai average Unfortunately not the place for our taste buds but give them a try, place did looked clean and they're there to welcome guests. read more

Came here for lunch with a friend per her recommendation. Was pleasantly surprised with the food. This isn't the traditional take of Burmese food as I thought. They really tweaked to the local western taste here and the dishes that we ordered were delicious especially the tea salad. It reminded me of another chinese cuisine (Hakka version of tea salad/rice). That said this dish is refreshingly tasty, zesty and fragrant (from the fried peas and garlic and their own special house concoction of the tea mixed dressing). Highly recommended to try this. (Note: The dish typically is served to table with all mixed in. However in our case we asked not to pre-mix the various ingredients when serve to us. Thus you can see from my photo here, the beautiful plating and dish presentation. We also ordered the garlic noodles that came with a side sauce you are supposed to mix in to enhance the flavor even more. The noodle itself was already tasty on its own though. Also ordered their garlic eggplant which again was very tasty and silky. The only nitpick was the dishes were a little too oily and I felt bloated after the meal. So next time I come, I will ask to reduce the oil... Ambiance: Nice spacious interior seatings and ample parking. Only complaint is it can get a little too noisy on weekends. So a good place to enjoy meal but not a good place for deep conversation. read more

Had the pleasure of trying this place with a close friend on a Saturday for lunch around 3:00 pm. It's a well known restaurant in Fremont for its Burmese food, which you can also find in San Jose and Sunnyvale for other Burmese restaurants. It's an imitate, classy dining experience with fine dining aspects. Lots of open tables when we walked in, after/before the lunch rush, and they also have a bar for alcoholic drinks. We were sat immediately at a booth. They also serve cucumber water, so healthy and refreshing. We ordered a tea leaf salad, deep fried lotus roots, and Nan Gyi Doks. The deep fried lotus has a great golden brown color, and the server gave us a tip to wait a bit so it would get even crunchier. It was crunchy and not too dry. They paired it with a garlic aioli, and it added a great savory flavor. The tea leaf salad has a complex earthy taste from the nuts, dressing, and veggies. Very filling despite being light and easily shareable. The Nan Gyi Dok had a beautiful presentation of golden and brown colors. The sliced egg added a pop of white color that really stood out as additional protein. It was savory, great sauce, and good chunks of meat inside the noodles. I only ate half as it was very filling! I definitely recommend this place if you want to try Burmese food! read more

Went here for lunch after a hike with family. Always love a good tea leaf salad and this place offers one to satiate that desire. The place looks regular from outside but its pretty nice and neat inside. The host & servers are also welcoming and the service was fast. Not too crowded for a Sunday lunch. There are ample veggie options and they can also take request to adjust for vegetarians. If you like a little spicier, go for their medium spice, as the mild versions were a little bland. read more

I've been to Burma Bay Cafe a few times, and it's been consistently good. Their salads are a standout and pair well with many of the dishes on the menu. Portions are generous, and everything comes out quickly, which is always a plus. The servers are super nice and attentive, making the dining experience very welcoming. The restaurant is also spacious, so it's a great fit for big parties or group gatherings. A solid spot if you're craving flavorful Burmese food with fast service and a comfortable setting. read more

This was a sublime eating experience! Such nice people working here, and the food is amazing! The menu is vast so we couldn't try everything but everything we had was a standout. Rainbow salad might have been the best of them all. Shrimp Lettuce Wraps, samosa's and beef curry dishes were also just amazing. This is a hidden gem in Fremont, CA that all the locals know about but not enough people do. You should get there and enjoy this dining experience asap! Highly recommend!! read more

Pretty solid flavors and dishes! We had the salt & pepper calamari, burmese style chicken curry, burmese garlic noodles, and lamb kebat. The calamari was super crispy on the outside with big chunks of squid. The chicken curry was flavorful but a bit in the salty side, and I wish there was more sauce. The chicken portion is generous though! The garlic noodles were fragrant but on the sweeter side. I liked the addition of cucumbers for a nice refreshing crunch. Lastly, the lamb kebat was a really earthy dish and slightly gamey. Interesting dish! Workers were very nice and food comes out so fast! The place itself is super spacious. Overall, pretty good spot! read more

I've never had Burmese food before and when my friend suggested it for her birthday, I couldn't say no and I'm glad we were able to try it out. We can when they opened at 11AM and were seated right away. The space is bright inside, clean, with many tables and booths. Here's what we ordered for the 4 of us to share: Burmese Rainbow Salad $14.95 (4/5) Comes with thin egg noodles, vermicelli noodles, jasmine rice, and lots of cut up veggies (cucumber, potatoes, papaya, onions) and it came warm. So when you think of salad you think cold... but this was an interesting combo i think because of the noodles and rice had to be heated up. Moh Hin Ga (pureed catfish chowder) $14.95 (3/5) This also was really interesting. It was thick soup and had small pieces of pureed catfish floating around. Lots of flavor going on. I think after having the salad and the same type of noodles going on. This was just ok. Lettuce wrap with tofu $12.95 (4/5) We got the sauce on the side and good thing we did because the tofu was really well seasoned. Went well with the lettuce wraps. Dry Curry Chicken $17.95 (4/5) When you see dry, you think why would they serve dry anything. Nobody likes dry foods. But this was good. The curry coconut sauce is just reduced down with the chicken and string bean, bell pepper, and okra. I would get this again. Honey & Lemon Beef $18.95 (5/5) Thin strips of meat, crunchy beef sweetened mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, condensed milk, lemon, and honey. This was tasty. For dessert they gave us mango ice cream and with a candle sparkler! Service was great! Burmese food I think is similar to Thai dishes and I think I would definitely come back to try more! read more

It was not crowded at all and Interior is clean, nothing Picturesque. Tea salad was very good. Ohn no khao swe noodle soup was decent. Burmese garlic noodle we asked for spicy one, we got them spicy. Good service as not much crowd was there, won't mind going again. Biggest problems was not the food but the rather their bowls, particularly for a soup it was very narrow bowl for a noodle soup, it was hard to mix or move the food around, next the bowels given to eat for the soup were very small, that too for a noodle soup made the whole experience poor, if it wads not for that I would have added another star. read more

It was the only place open in the area with not-bad food at 3pm on Black Friday, so here we came. We were pleasantly surprised! Liked everything we ordered: lotus root crisps, tea leaves salad, a onion-y tomato-y cumin-y beef dish, garlic noodles, sticky rice dessert. My only slight complaint would be that the garlic noodles were too heavy on the sauce; I couldn't finish the last 1/3 bottom of it. The tea beer was also a nice find. It's from an Alameda brewery and doesn't seem to be sold anywhere (not even on the brewery's website). I regret not bringing a few cans home. Yes - it's that good and it's worth the restaurant alcohol premium! read more

Came here at noon on a Sunday and it was pretty empty with only 1 table occupied. I really liked how the menu specified Gluten free dishes. We orderd tea leaf salad, Nan Gyi Dok, pineapple rice. The salad was ok. It was already mixed when they served. The taste was not too strong as the others I've tried before . I'd give it a 3.5. Nan Gyi Dok was pretty good. We thought it was a soup noodle but it wasn't which was ok. I give it a 4. Pineapple fried rice was a disappointment. It's a very simple fried rice with pineapple in it and which I can cook at home. I'd give it a 2. Overall was ok. The price was reasonable . read more

Solid spot for Tea Leaf Salad! I used to DoorDash from them back when they resided in Santa Clara. I dined in with some friends for an early birthday dinner in August and we got a variety of dishes: *Tea Leaf Salad *Mango Salad *Vegetarian Palata *Salt & Pepper Calamari *Garlic Noodles + Tofu *Basil Chili Beef *Jasmine Rice *Shwe Gyi Burmese Semolina Cake + Mango Ice Cream *Mango Mocktail Mojitos *Glass of Prosecco Wine Their tea leaf salad was already mixed when it arrived at the table. It has so many crunchy aromatics like garlic chips, peanuts, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, yellow beans, tomato, jalapeño, lemon, and their fermented green tea leaf oil dressing on a mix of romaine/cabbage. Mango salad was interesting. The dressing was mango flavored instead of having actual mango chunks in the salad. Refreshing. Basil chili beef is my fave and gotta have steamed rice with it. Savory and filling. Salt n pepper calamari is always a welcome app. Crunchy and chewy. Love palata, whether it's the veggie or yellow chicken curry version. Crispy flaky layers. Garlic noodles were on the sweet side but I like the type of noodles they use. The place is pretty spacious and they had a large group celebrating when we went. Service is pretty fast too and they're accommodating. We were pleasantly surprised by how delicious the shwe gyi dessert was! It was hot and steaming from the oven with a cool scoop of mango ice cream (choose from that, vanilla, or chocolate). It tasted like a slice of spongy but slightly grainy cake. Staff topped it off with a festive birthday flare to celebrate! I'll have to bring the family here one day. Until then, I'll keep ordering tea leaf salad for take out. read more

Great food, except my favorite dish, Khawsay, was written in the soup section, which means I couldn't control the curry (liquid) in my bowl because it was fully prepared and served. Usually, we build our own bowl with the toppings we like. Still, it was delicious, but chicken with mint and Jalapenño wins the heart and stomach. It's even better with paratha, but you can enjoy it with white rice as well. Here is the list we ordered. Minted Jalapeno Chicken Jasmine Rice Nan Gyi Dok Ohn-no Khao Swè (Coconut Noodle Soup) Palata It was Tuesday at 12:30 pm, lunchtime, and the place was crowded. The service was delightful, and the whole team was invaluable and smiling during rush hours. Thank you, Shang Shanng Love to go back soon. Great Ambiance and yummy food, plus good service, what else can I ask for? read more

Phenomenal food here! One of the waiters was a little unconventional regarding his etiquette and slightly pushy. The lamb palata was super tasty. The bread was nice and flaky, very rich in a good way...and paired well with the lamb served on the side, super unique dish here, really enjoyed it! My mom and I loved the Nan Gyi Dok, it was the star in our books. The noodles are nice and fluffy, served with a super nice sauce and some very tender chicken. We also got the chicken curry special served with Burmese biryani and mango salad. The chicken curry was nice and tender, Biryani was super pleasant too, the mango salad was really unique and extremely refreshing...super happy with this overall dish, comes with lots of diverse flavors Would definitely come back here to try some more stuff. Very impressed overall! read more

I've been to Burma Bay multiple times with party sizes as small as two and large as six; each time the dishes always hit. The tea leaf salad and dried chili beef are a must--I always get it when I go! The string beans were yummy as well. Recently I tried to mango chicken, and that might move to the go-to list like the tea leaf salad. No complaints on the garlic noodles with chicken, pineapple fried rice, or samosas either. I would say my favorite dishes are either the dried chili beef (strong bold flavor) or mango chicken (light with actual mango fruit and real mango flavor). I did recently try the lemongrass salmon (not pictured) and that's the only dish that was a miss for me (still good flavor, just not very strong in lemongrass flavor as I was hoping). The service is solid too--staff is friendly and continuously refill my party's cucumber water. The food also comes out quick! Definitely will be back! read more

Wanted some tea leaf salad so looked it up and stopped by. I ordered through toast and it was very convenient. The place wasn't crowded starting to fill up from the lunch crowd so it was noisy when you enter. The food was ready to go. I drove 15 min home and ate it. Tea leaf salad: 4.5 stars. everything was so fresh. I like that they used a mix of Romaine and cabbage. However, I wished the not the cabbage and romaine was in thinner shreds because you have to take such a big bite (minus 0.5 stars). However they packaged everything separately which was very thoughtful. The seeds and nuts were crunchy. Tea leaf dressing was so good. Yummy. Definitely satisfying. I could probably eat it all myself. Dry curry shrimp: 5 stars. Love that they let you choose your spice level. For the little one, I picked a non spicy. The okra and green bean were so good, texture is great and flavors were so on point but not spicy. Also there was plenty of shrimp as well. I think this will be my new to go place!! read more

I stopped by for lunch on a quiet Sunday, no wait, and was seated quickly. The restaurant had a lot of natural light coming in from the large windows that surrounded it. I tried the Tea Leaf Salad which came premixed. The textures were nice: crunchy, nutty, slightly fermented. However, it felt like something was missing from the flavors that I can't pinpoint. The Chicken Pad Thai was a bit tangy and I was not a fan of the addition of bell peppers in my Pad Thai. Both dishes weren't bad but it's not quite what I had in mind when I ordered these dishes. Service was good and standard. Overall, it was an okay meal. I've definitely had better Burmese food in the Bay Area. Nothing was terrible but nothing stood out either. read more

This place still retains its charm and reputation of good foods and good vibe. Efficient kitchen did not let customers stay hungry for too long. The prices of the dishes were okay as far as I can tell. We liked the garlic noodles with chicken the most. The basil chili beef was spicy (could have more basils and less cumin). The tofu saturated with string beans was different. Instead of using firm tofu, the chef chose bean curd. Overall, we ate more than we should. But what the hack, it's Saturday night. read more

I had an excellent first experience at Burma Bay Cafe! I ordered the Tofu & Vegetables, and it was absolutely delicious, fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. I'll definitely be ordering it again. What impressed me just as much was the service. They only had a couple of people working the front, but they handled everything with professionalism, friendliness, and efficiency. Even while staying busy, they made everyone feel welcome and never seemed rushed. Great food, outstanding service, and a wonderful overall experience.

The Food Everything we ordered was delicious: Tea Leaf Salad: Fresh, crunchy, and perfectly balanced. Burmese Style Chicken Curry: Rich in flavor and pairs perfectly with their Coconut Rice. Burmese Iced Tea: A refreshing must-order. A Quick Note on the Water One unique touch I love is that they serve water infused with fresh cucumber from a large jar. It's very cooling and refreshing. However, if you have a cucumber allergy, definitely let the staff know or be cautious, as it is the standard water served. Summary Great food, lovely people, and total consistency.

Burma Bay Cafe stopped by as a pop-up vendor at my workplace and I was super happy to try them! I love Burmese food and this did not disappoint! Garlic noodles had a great flavor, a little softer than I'd prefer my noodles to be though. The Minted Jalapeño Chicken was extremely flavorful and I loved it! They also really piled it up for me! The tea leaf salad was also very delicious, crunchy and crispy throughout with a nice dressing. Overall, I loved that the meal wasn't overly salty and had great flavor. It was a well balanced meal of carbs, protein, and vegetables. Please come back as a pop-up vendor!
